i think over the bush tax cuts and plan b, we saw john boehner completely fail there his grasp on the most rowdy members of his caucus seems to be loosening. you would think based on reason alone something would bring them back from the precipice but i think the country, political watchers, you and i get less and less convinced by the day that is evaporating. tea party hero rand paul stated it plainly. shut down is a bad idea he said. we'll take a listen to him. >> i don't think shutting down the government is a good idea but i do think we were elected, conservatives were elected to try to stop this overreach, this government takeover of health care. when the government's divided we should use the leverage of controlling at least part of government to try to get the law more to our liking. >> if that strikes you as reasonable and it does at that point, there are several reports the republicans are looking to drop the threat of a government shutdown this september if the affordable care act isn't dismantled. instead, they're looking at at approach which would result in something far wo

we know senator john mccain has been quite strong on this as well calling on president obama to pull back the aid. some democrats have also called on this administration to end the aid. you didn't hear the president weigh in on that critical issue, mara. that's because if it is determined or if the administration comes out and says, yes, there has been a coup. they would have to pull back the aid. the administration walking a fine line and leaving one piece of leverage to dangle out in front of the interim government. it underscores how complicated the situation is, both in egypt on the ground right now and diplomatically between the united states. this is one of the u.s.'s key outlines in what is already a volatile region. the president coming out condemning the violence, calling on the interim government calling on them to start as quickly as possible. we know president obama continually gets updated by susan rice. he convened an entire meeting. the u.s. is continuing to monitor the situation but they still have not gone so far as to pull back aid, and as you point out, that is rea
